SOUTHERN KADUNA WATCH DOG
Press release
RE: QURIX’S MISMANAGEMENT OF KASU: THE NEED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. BY ZAZZAU EMIRATE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION (ZEMDA)
Gentlemen of the press
Zazzau Emirate development association cannot eat their cake and have it back. We make bold to say that this mushroom Association has its main agenda to continue to strangulate the good loving people of Southern Kaduna and continue to make us onlookers in the affairs of OUR State, BUT, we will never sit down and watch this go on. We will from now henceforth fight back and oppose this modern day slavery by the Zazzau Emirate.
These are the issues that are steering their anger like wounded Lions and they can no longer pretend or hold back, hence their decision to vent their anger and hatred of the Southern Kaduna People with the active connivance with the Government of the clueless, colorless and remote-controlled Mukhtar Ramalan Yero.
We have a draft copy of the press release that was initially written by Ahmed Maiyaki and sent to Abdullahi Isah Shika for vetting before publication. We also have proof that the publication was paid for by the loquacious D.G media to Governor Yero.
Gentlemen, what is simply happening are that the Government is testing the waters to set the stage for the removal of Prof Qurix as V.C of the state University. The same tactics that was used to remove Hon Allahmagani, Hon. Aboki Galadima and Hon. Reuben Buhari as a prelude to the sacking of the State Executive Council that was constituted by Governor Yakowa. This is nothing but an affront and attack on the good people of southern Kaduna and definitely we will not allow it to lie low, just like that.
a. They allege that Governor Yakowa subverted the University law and due process in the appointment the V.C and Pro Chancellor and further stated in paragraph 5 that Prof Qurix was imposed on the university by our late loving, amiable and hero Governor, Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa (May his gentle soul rest in peace in Jesus Name. Amen). This exposes their hate for Yakowa when he was alive, since they severally boasted then that “Kaduna Sai Mai Sallah”. What a shameful, false and unwarranted Statement.
b. They want the University to stick to 40% Merit, 40% catchment areas, and 20% educationally disadvantaged areas and fro each L.G in the State to be given equal slots for admission irrespective of whether they are qualified or not. Why are they afraid of competing for admission slots openly with their Southern Kaduna Counterparts and want admissions to be dished out to them based on quota system without reference to merit. The answer is simple, the average Southern Kaduna indigene is smarter and more intelligent that they are and so they are afraid of open competition. Why then are they afraid of the newly introduced “ADMISSION BASED ON THE STRENGTH OF APPLICANTS (ABSA) and afraid of going to the Kafanchan Campus of the State University? What about our brothers and sisters who willingly go to the State Polytechnic in zaria and yet they are afraid to go to Kafanchan. They MUST GO TO KAFANCHAN CAMPUS, WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.
c. They allege and disparaged our beloved Governor Yakowa that in 2011, Sir Yakowa ‘UNILATERALLY ALLOCATED N1 BILLION yearly for three years in the state rolling plan for the Kafanchan Campus, while allocating a meager N200 million for the main campus. Why are they bothered about that/ why are they pained by the development of the Kafanchan Campus? They are pained because they perceived Southern Kaduna is benefitting from the development and must be stopped by all cost
d. They finally bare their fangs where they demanded for the sack of Prof Qurix, which is the crux of the matter, after failing to convince the principled and highly revered Alhaji Abubakar Ladan, the Pro Chancellor of the University to join them in their devilish acts as a Muslim Brother. He not only shinned them but warned them NEVER EVER to come to him with such demands. They therefore had no other choice but to go public.
We categorically wish to state that the Zazzau Emirate Dev Association are just ranting and their ranting cannot and will never change the noble and good intentions of Prof Qurix for the University.
This is a high wire conspiracy conceived, hatched and sponsored by the Government of Mukhtar Ramalan Yero and we will never be deceived. NEVER AGAIN!

Comrade Bissala Mutuwa Agatha Aruwan
Chairman Secretary
